COME EXPERIENCE CONSECRATED COMMUNITY LIFE

The Catholic Corps men and women invite you to a 1-week or 6-week experience of our consecrated celibate community life.

IS GOD CALLING ME?

DISCERN YOUR VOCATION

Maybe you’ve asked yourself this question before, or maybe not. Either way, the Catholic Corps men and women invite you to spend time experiencing a consecrated community life. 

Our 1-Week “Come & See” event is for any practicing Catholic man or woman (ages 18-35) who is open to or discerning the call to the Catholic Corps vocation. During this week, Mass will be in common. Prayer times, meals, and recreation will be separate.

Each 6-Week “Come & See” event is scheduled on an as needed basis, based on availability.

Consider also signing up for our Discernment Weekend prior to the fall 1-Week “Come & See”, for even more time for intentional discernment.
